Thanks, it'll do for the time being, but the goal is to maximize the privacy for this tracking as well, maybe do something like https://docs.simpleanalytics.com/what-we-collect in the future.

I'm not sure how many users use private relays, but I guess it is not too many to severely skew the statistics.

I'll figure something out, not the primary focus at the moment. Probably gonna do something like https://www.simpleanalytics.com/. Nonetheless, visits are not tied to any user except just a hashed IP and I can't "track" them outside the sites using SponsorApp.

Doing analytics always needs SOME kind of tracking, you'll see that it is not a problem, it is FAR better than letting Google track you using AdSense, that you can agree to.

Besides, everything is deleted after 7 days. Do yourself a favor and lower your cortisol levels, your body will thank you when you get older

To increase the privacy even more, you could hash the week number + year as well, as well as more things, but for the launch and MVP, we are sticking with hash of just the IP.

Thank you!

TLDR; Each IP is counted as a unique visitor.

To account for multiple devices from the same IP, if same IP visits two days in a row, two unique visitors are counted.

For privacy reasons, IP is not stored, but the sha256 hash of the IP is, so I can not easily track users.
